Intel Chipset Software Installation 9.4.0.1022 Download

The Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility installs the Windows* INF files. The INF files inform the operating system how to properly configure the chipset for specific functionality, such as USB and core PCI.

Windows 8.1 is now supported as well.

Name changes: Intel Chipset Device Software is the new name for the Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility; this name will be seen when running the installation package.

About this file/download: The Intel Chipset Device Software installs the Windows* INF files. An INF is a text file that provides the operating system with information about a piece of hardware on the system. In the case of the current Intel Chipset Device Software, that information is primarily the product name for the piece of hardware. This allows the operating system to show the correct name for that piece of hardware in Device Manager.

Intel Chipset Device Software Support

The Intel Chipset Device Software contains support for the following Intel Chipsets:

If people don't know how to force it overall it's easy. all you need to do is make a shortcut of the setup.exe then go to properties then target then at the end of the .exe add -overall, so it should say something like this C:\Users\your user name\Downloads\infinst_autol\Setup.exe -OVERALL

Doing this will override and change the RST installed you will have to reinstall RST to fix that

only that way a proper installation happens then you install after reboot again the latest RST for your SATA controller which is always superior and latest.

this is by far the latest one and it fully supports windows 8.1

I don't think you need to go that far given this driver is pretty meaningless. Windows can operate just fine without it.

Weird, at first I did the standard update which didn't do anything apparent (all dates and driver versions remained at previous version), then did the "-overall -overide -overwrite" update, which apparently really did update stuff, but in device manager all Intel items are at 9.3.0.1028, and yet the driver date shows 7/9/2013 on said devices.

if you use chipset drivers it will run even more fine on my old P55 rig it has dated 9.1.9.1004 9/7/2013 so it surely does better than windows c**p...

? Literally all this driver does is give some devices under device manager proper names and nothing else. Any improved performance is placebo unless you're talking about intel RST drivers which are different.

Do you need intel RST drivers drivers if you don't use RAID? I guess it would do nothing for you if you have an SSD as a boot drive and HD as secondary?

I don't currently have it installed.

While I wouldn't say you need them, there are benefits to using them. For one thing, it installs Intel's AHCI driver which gives better performance on the Intel SATA ports, especially for SSD's.

Ok. I will give it a go. So do I have to just install the driver or install the driver and fiddle with options? I already have AHCI mode enabled in BIOS.

Do you have a link to latest driver please? Reason I ask is because yesterday I searched for it and ended up somewhere completely different on the M$ site!
